If you're not getting any interviews, then I would get a professional to help.
I have all these issues to deal with: gaps in employment (taking care of parents with terminal illnesses, starting a family), and 2 career changes. I would appreciate any recommendations for someone to help with my resume/job search.

Within a month of having the new resume, I got several interviews (I had received none prior to the re-work).
She was almost like a career-coach/resume magician.
Just curious, did you use Shauna?

Write it yourself, hire a graphic designer to develop it. Best thing I ever did.

No..
They will give you bad advice like to add an objective (don't!)
Just google it and get someone to proofread it.

What level / position are you going for.
It is a worthwhile investment if you are going for a government position - especially SES to get past the resume screenings.

Hell no! What a waste of money!
Just look at the different templates online, pick the one that you think looks right, and plug in all your info. Then email it to a friend and ask them to check for typos and tenses and such. Voila! Free resume.

Is it worth the expense? Can you recommend anyone in particular?
